It’s very old art at this point, but I think it’s generally still considered canon.

Cain has impeccable taste on top of absurd imposter syndrome.
That’s a big thing in the Horus Heresy series. There’s definitely a dude underneath it all, but he’s so massively psychically powerful that he’s got a permanent glamour effect that adjusts to each viewer’s conceptions. The Mechanicum sees him as a scientist, the primarchs largely see him as a massive warrior, etc.
improbable female authority figure
female authority figure is Cadian
Cadia is (yes, Cadia still stands. fite me chaos nerds) a world where every human with a pulse and an age above 5 is handed a rifle and sent to boot camp because LITERAL HELL IS RIGHT THERE, JUST LOOK UP AT THE DAEMONS COMING TO GET YOU
Bruh.
Ultramarines are improbably diverse
Ultramar is literally Space Rome, a massive cosmopolitan space empire consisting of 500 worlds and trillions of people
I’m going to find this person and beat them with my worn-out copy of Know No Fear until they stop whining about the existence of women and black people long enough to have at least a cursory knowledge of the lore they’re butchering.
It’s got strong Lysenko vibes for sure. Some people are so busy shitting on Amerikkka (good and based) that they start deciding that mRNA vaccines are actually inferior (bad and cringe).
There’s definitely been a trend of growing sentiment against any sort of authority under capitalism combined with general anti-intellectualism here. The threads full of people screaming that 9/11 was an inside job because jet fuel can’t melt steel beams was absurd, no matter how many people wander in pointing out that’s not how that works and that, yes, you should generally trust structural engineers even if they exist within the framework of capitalism, or threads like this full of people saying that (the very real) systemic racism within healthcare means that doctors have no clue what they’re talking about in any context and that you should just self medicate instead.
It’s also dumb because the Franco-Prussian War was re-litigated two more times afterwards in WW1 and WW2, and has only not been repeated again because western Europe fell under the American sphere of influence which prevented any more major European wars. It’s essentially irrelevant for modern times despite only happening 150 years ago.
Meanwhile, the American Civil War was never properly ended. The slave-owning class that started it continued on and is still in power today, and the vast brainworms of “The South Will Rise Again!” were never rooted out and destroyed. All it takes for the average American to have to think about Lincoln is spending twenty minute with their racist uncle, so obviously it’s more relevant.
Who could’ve guessed that trying to invade the world’s most infamously uninvadeable region could’ve ended poorly for a combatant that has a smaller military than its opponent and has been having major logistics issues?
Fortunately for all involved it’s not like there was any historical precedent for this being a bad idea.
I love this libertarian obsession with “true free markets” as if there has ever been or ever will be a market with no nation-states or major conglomerates putting their fingers on the scale for their own self interests. What a world it must be to live in where one is so high on idealism that they somehow miss how incredibly fucking worthless even considering such a thing is when a child could point out that would never occur.
The curvature of spacetime does wild shit to how you would expect physics to work. If you want to fall into a gravity well, you have to slow down or you’ll just slingshot past it.
Who isn’t racing out the door at 5pm? I trade labor for wages, I’m not sticking around for unpaid overtime just to make some investor who’s never worked a day in his life even richer.
My favorite genre of journalism: other countries’ journalists writing about the US the same way the US writes about their countries. I’m just sad they didn’t dredge up some “America expert” who’s never been to the US and doesn’t speak English to call for mass balkanization of the country followed by conspiracy theory screeds for the extra flavor.
Next thing you know they’ll have Zelda crossdress as some kind of woke ninja and fight Ganondorf herself
Did they finally add foreign investment mechanics to Vicky? I got tired of sitting in the endgame watching half the world squander their obscene oil reserves while my economy is dying from a lack of supply.
I’m sure he’ll think real hard about what he’s done on the way home. Maybe even dry his tears with the truckloads of money and munitions Harris is complicit in handing him without reservation to commit genocide with.
Ascending to the presidency from the chain of succession does not count as a term for the purposes of term limits. Technically you could serve a functionally unlimited number of terms so long as you find enough people willing to run for president, win, and then hand over the reigns to you as VP.
Edit: Ignore me, I’m wrong.
It’s an abomination of American reality TV that’s aping one of the best Japanese televised sports of all time.
You’d probably be smell blind to it. It’s a very different thing if you grew up used to it.
Somehow this meme feels unfair to both the GEoM and Nurgle.
The books do mention her having a bodysuit that she wears underneath power armor before, so it’s probably supposed to be that. No excuse for the gratuitous cleavage beyond she wants to look sexy while shooting things angle though.
